Colo Claw Fish Eggs (a Guru favorite) 

While generally compared to beluga caviar, Colo Claw Fish Eggs are a snack of the galaxy’s elite. Our much more accessible boba is a fun way to class up your Star Wars charcuterie board. Colo claw fish were native to the planets Naboo and Odona. In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jar Jar Binks used a Gungan bongo submarine to travel through Naboo’s core to get to Theed. Their bongo was attacked by a Colo claw fish, which was then attacked and devoured by a sando aqua monster.  Eventually, the eggs were offered to Han Solo by Dryden Vos in the self-titled film Solo. 

Ingredients:

• all-natural brown sugar boba pearls
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

• Prepare your all-natural brown sugar boba pearls
• Fill up your  favorite bowl with Strained Tapioca Pearls
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar
• Provide toothpicks for serving
